TROOP MOVEMENT JOB EQUALS
75 WORLD TRIPS FOR EVERY
PERSON IN ZAVALA COUNTY
Taking all of Zavala County's
11,600 people around the world in
sleeping cars more than 55 times
would be a tremendous undertaking,
yet that is actually about the size of
the troop movement job reported to-
day by The Pullman Company.
Since Pearl Harbor, Pullman has
carried about 14,000,000 troops a dis-
tance of more than 15 billion passen-
ger miles in its sleeping cars, the
company reports. These figures are
said to cover mass military move-
ments alone, and do not include the
heavy travel of furloughed men and
others.
Many of ti e boys from Zavala
County, like servicemen from all
parts of the country, are getting
their first Pullman rides, according
to George A. Kelly, vice-president of
the company. Now most of them are
making six or seven trips by Pull-
man, as the intense training program
of the armed services necessitates
that many moves or more prior to
embarkation for points abroad, he
said. In addition, the Army and
Navy believe in all the comfort pos-
sible for the members of the armed
forces, he declared, and about two-
thirds of all military movements by
rail arc by Pullman sleeper
Pullman is now currying more
than 200,000 troops every month in
mass movement, it is revealed by Mr.
Kelly, who pointed out that in addi-
tion to this heavy and steadily in-
creasing military passenger burden,
civilian travel itself is also at a rec-
ord-breaking level. He believes that
Pullman’s passenger-mile volume
for 1943 may exceed the 1942 all-
time high of 19 billion by 30 or more
percent.
“The military and civilian passen-
ger burden of Pullman and the rail-
roads today is so heavy,” Kelly said,
"that there is unfortunately little
margin left for some of the conven-
iences travelers enjoyed in peace-
time. Service today is wartime ser-
vice, and by their understanding and
tolerance of this fact, travelers can
help us greatly in the performance
of our vital job.”

HUMAN CAPACITIES
Men are often capable of greater
things than they perform. They are
sent into the world with bills of
credit, and seldom draw to their full
extent.—Walpole.
The human capacities are en-
larged and perfected in proportion
as humanity gains the true concep-
tion of man and God.—Marv Baker
Eddy.
The mind, unmastered by passions,
is a very citadel, for a man has no
fortress mere impregnable wherein
to find refuge and be untaken for-
ever.—Marcus Aurelius.
As the soil, however rich it may
be, cannot be productive without
cultivation can never produce good
fruit.—Seneca.
The block of granite which was
an obstacle in the pathway of the
weak, becomes a stepping-stone in
the pathway of the strong.—Thomas
Carlyle.
Till we are called to rise;
We never know how high we are
And then, if we are true to plan,
Our statures touch the skies.
, —Emily Dickinson.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Hardy:
Well, how is good old Crystal by
now? We like Pleasanton all right,
but Crystal City will probably seem
more like home to us, for a long
time yet. Mr. Hill, Jerry and I have
just returned from Sherman after
a ten-day visit with T. C. Jr„ who is
a Cadet at Perrin Field. He will fin-
ish his basic training there in about
two more weeks. Floyd is at Lake
City, Florida, and will finish his
course there in December, then go to
Troy, New York for several months
college work, before going into actu-
al Naval Air Corps training.
I asked the boys what paper they
preferred—that we were going to
send whichever they had rather have
—your paper is what they want.
(She then gave their addresses.)
Also send paper to us.
Best wishes to you both and
thanks.
Mrs. T. C. HILL
next newspapers until you receive a
post card from me from the new
place where I will be located.
I graduated from the H. M. School,
and my course is to be continued at
other schools to which I am to be
moved. I thank you.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Hardy:
I wish to inform you that I have
received two of the papers sent to
me in August. A? you know, it takes
month for thefh to'reach me. I
surely do enjoy reading them. The
paper lets me know what is going
on at home and how all my friends j Nazi Europe and will receive Dis-
are getting along. As you know from tinguished Flying Cross. lie already
the address, I am over seas on a ! has been awarded the Air Medal
JAMES M. SMITH NOW
CAPTAIN IN AIR FORCE
A report dated August, 1943, from
a U. S. Army Eighth Air Force
Bomber Station in England, said “the
promotion of Jumi-s M. Smith from
First Lieutenant to Captain was an-
nounced recently by Brig. Gen.
Frederick L. Anderson, Commanding
General of the Eight Air Force
Bomber Command.
“Smith, a Flying Fortress pilot is
one of the pioneer bombardment
groups in the European Theatre, has
completed 26 bomber raids over
French Island. I am somewhere in
the South Pacific, but can’t tell the
name of the place.
I read in the two papers of some
marriages. Just thinking that they
were some of the kids I graduated
with three Oak Leaf Clusters for ‘ex-
ceptionally meritorious achieve-
ment.’ ”
Another report from Fort George
Wright Field, Wash., says:
Capt. James M. Smith, University
. Texas graduate and ex-f„otball
i un across a few boys over here from coach
towns close around Crystal City.
There was a boy from Cotulla, La-
redo, and Macdona, Texas.
The popular fruit here is cocoa-
nuts and they sell very cheap. I
know you will be interested in how
the natives dress. Most of them are
Javonize. The mer. here wear short
pants cut off above the knees and
never wear shoes; the women wear
long dresses which are made of
about 12 yards of material and they
also go barefooted. They carry their
babies similar to the way Indians
used to.
Well, dear friends, I must close.
Tell all my friends that I would like
to hear from them. You have my ad-
dress.
Sincerely yours,
